Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate

radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will

not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or

television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for help.

FCC Caution:

To assure continued compliance, (example-use only shielded interface cables when connecting to

computer or peripheral devices) any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the Following two

conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this Device must accept any

interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Radiation Exposure

Statement

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure set forth for an uncontrolled environment. In

order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity

to the antenna shall not be less than 20 cm (8 inches) during normal operation.

R&TTE Compliance Statement

This equipment complies with all the requirements of DIRECTIVE 1999/5/CE OF THE EUROPEAN

PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunication

terminal Equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity (R&TTE).

The R&TTE Directive repeals and replaces in the directive 98/13/EEC (Telecommunications Terminal

Equipment and Satellite Earth Station Equipment) As of April 8, 2000.

Safety

This equipment is designed with the utmost care for the safety of those who install and use it. However,

special attention must be paid to the dangers of electric shock and static electricity when working with

electrical equipment. All guidelines of this and of the computer manufacture must therefore be allowed

at all times to ensure the safe use of the equipment.

WEEE regulation

To avoid the potential effects on the environment and human health as a result of the

presence of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, end users of

electrical and electronic equipment should understand the meaning of the crossed-out

wheeled bin symbol. Do not dispose of WEEE as unsorted municipal waste and have to

collect such WEEE separately.

your LAN switch/hub or a computer with a RJ-45 cable.

4. Connect RJ-45 cable to WNRT-620 WAN port. Connect xDSL/Cable Modem to the WAN port on

WNRT-620. Usually, this cable would be provided with your modem. If no cable was supplied with

your modem, please use a RJ-45 Ethernet cable

5. Plug in power adapter and connect to power source. After power on, WNRT-620 will start to

operate.
